Alex + Lindley | A Charleston Wedding and Old Wideawake Plantation Reception

Bridal· Weddings

30 Jun

He’s a Clemson Tiger, and she’s a USC Gamecock– a house divided for sure! 😉 Lindley and Alex’s paths crossed while hanging out before the 2012 Clemson/ Carolina game in Clemson through a mutual friend– also the SAME mutual friend that I met Lindley and Alex through! So yes, the saying “it’s a small world” comes into play when you least expect it! They were married on June 18, 2016 with a beautiful ceremony at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, and a reception that followed at Old Wideawake Plantation. I literally was in awe as I turned down the dirt road in route to the reception. Just wait until you see the pictures of this place! It is the perfect location for a wedding reception! And it was the perfect fit for this crowd! Such a laid-back atmosphere! I loved everything about Alex and Lindley’s big day!!! And just seeing the joy of these two finally reaching this day. THIS IS WHY I LOVE WEDDINGS!!! Enjoy this little sneak peek of Lindley and Alex’s wedding day. I’ve also incorporated some of Lindley’s BEAUTIFUL bridal portraits from Hampton Park!

I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always
I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always have. And that doesn’t stop when they are teenagers. 🥰 February 21, 2026 was Gus’ first reenactment- the Battle of Aiken! You can tell by the black powder on his face, too, as that is the initiation. 😁

He planned for this day for a year. One of his buddies briefly mentioned after the 2025 one that they should look into being involved. Well, that conversation sparked a drive in this boy! Although the friend didn’t go onto being involved, Gus knew he would! So he saved up some money and purchased his gear. 

At the last minute, the unit he was originally registered with backed out of attending due to potential bad weather. So that left us scrambling. We told him not to worry and to just pack the vehicle with all his gear and we would just drive on to Aiken and figure it out when we get there. 😅 And by divine intervention, I’m sure of it, he ended up with the most wonderful unit of reenactors that he will continue with now, for years to come. 🙌🙏 

PS: he had his heart set on representing the South, but his unit was drafted to portray Union federalists at the last minute. 🤪

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to get away for a couple days with my grandma, mama, and two of my aunts! Such a blessing!!! 💜 We perused the beach for shells and at night played the game ‘Taco, Goat, Cat, Cheese, Pizza’ (there were only two games provided in the house 🤣); all of us came away with some type of bruise. 🤣 We also had the Stone family famous shrimp ‘n grits for breakfast one morning! This trip was such a treasure!

These fellas had a heckuva start to their fishing tournament season this past Saturday. 😅 First, their typical boat captain was under the weather, so had to play switch-a-roo on boat *and* captain. Then, about 11am during the tournament the boat they were in broke down, leaving them only the section of the lake they could access with the trolling motor. Thankfully, a fellow team boat captain (and our church pastor!) was able to return his anglers to weigh-in, then make the run across the lake to snatch up these two fellas and get them to the dock in time for weigh-in. SHEW Y’ALL! 😅😵‍💫 They still managed 4 of the 5 fish limit with 10.04 lbs. 🙌
